TYhere are thrd party navigations that need no internet connection, but thay are smomewhat costly - TomTom, NavIgo My way (i use it), Garmin...

it depends what are your needs...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] stcardinal:
I'm still confused about whether SprintNav cost money to use or not. Anyone know?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] forster:
If it ustes internet then it does, if you can bye it in the store then it does, if you got it with the pheone, allong with the maps then it is free...

Hope you understand the logic...

Bing

I love the new Bing with Free navigation. Speaks the street names too.:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 1milenia:
ive tried them all

but garmin is the most precise to the T
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] boxofjunk:
bing is my new fav since it has voice navigation and is free.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Teej53214:
I am still sticking with TomTom.. While the maps are not free with TomTom... I find that it by far is most user friendly... the driving isntructions are easy to understand... I love the custom voices and icons you can use... it is free to use after you pay for your map (no monthly fees unless you get premium internet services from them)... It works when you are far from home and have no signal on your phone (you know, when you would need a GPS the most)... The maps are stored directly on your microSD card.. and a map of the entire north America runs 1.5-2gb..... TomTom "just works"... No data used when you drive around... it is great & i HIGHLY reccomend it!

iGuidance

I use iGuidance it does the job for me it has many POI for a "no-name" application all the GPS maps are saved on my SD card. It has voice-guided directions and also has safety features like "slow down ur in a school zone" and when you get on the highway it shows u which ramp to merge onto which is great. I think that iNAV iGuidance is pretty simple which i like however others want more complex features. I used to have Garmin XT it was good but i think iNAV iGuidance is faster, but it isnt the most finger friendly and u might need to get a little used to it. Here are some screenshots:

I am considering getting iGO however i cannot comment on its effectiveness as a Navigation Program because i havent used it yet but it seems very good

bing with voice

my fav is the new bing with voice it works very well on the tmo rhodium
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] gmann1:
only with iGo Primo I´m happy :) (and long time before it was NDrive)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] antoine_32:
Garmin!! But if you dont wanna pay go with Bing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] CiclopeTP:
Hello how is the performance on the Tp2. I ask because primo had a lag from about 5 Second till the voice indicate the next turn.

With my IGo8 all its ok.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ddd22:
If you have an unlimited data plan go with BING.

Not only does it have voice requests and audio navigation, but without a doubt I find the directions are the clearest. for example, it actually says all the information on the next exit sign, not just the exit number. very very thorough.

google maps with voice requests is fine too, but no turn by turn audio

on my tilt2 I have garmin xt and it works great also and also provides free traffic, but it is a bit dated vis a vis the maps.

tom tom was great but unless you are on an iphone there are no north america maps that I have been able to find for purchase or otherwise... so tom tom is a no go unless you can score maps (at least in my region). if you live somewhere that tom tom still supports, i think it is as a program superior to garmin, both in lead time for turns, quickness of load and clarity of 3d mapping. however north america is just SOL.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] oyebee:
second vote for bing with its cool voice activated guide system

Bing rocks and it's free
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Trailblaze:
I use iGO8, its by far the best, although it is slightly more complicated to use, once you get hang of it its great. I plan all my motorcycle routes on it, plug my TP2 into the Bike, and off I go ! also iGO8 has a track recorder so you can record you route, export to GPX, overall has many more features than TomTom, although Tom Tom is very easy to use.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] stcardinal:
I've only used Bing so far, it's kinda worthless. It always tells me to turn RIGHT when I need to turn. Kinda wish it'd tell me ahead of time.

I installed Dolphin(again) at a friend's suggestion and found it to be too busy and although fast, not noticeably faster than the Evo's default browser. But now I wonder if I'm missing something? Does the Evo's browser suck that much? I have to admit, I hate that window limit but still, not enough to make me switch.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
Hmm I have never tried any browser besides stock...gonna try dolphin HD but I have to say....the bookmark widget doesn't look promising
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -shift-:
i've been pretty content with skyfire, i love the button that switches between android and desktop views. i haven't tried dolphin yet though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] casual864:
I like Dolphin, but sometimes I perfer a simple and fast browser also known as xScope.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] laydros:
I really liked dolphin before it added the sidebar. I always end up activating the sidebar when I don't want it, and sometimes it breaks scrolling.

I started loading the AOSP browser from bugless beast on my phone and love it. It is just the stock browser like the N1, and it doesn't show previews of the windows, but it does allow 8 windows instead of 4.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] driguez:
Stock for me.

Sent telepathically via my Evo.

-_-
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
I use Dolphin HD even though it fails miserably at downloading things. I wish there was a fast, easy way to clear the browser defaults like there is with the launchers.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Minjin:
I use Dolphin HD the most due to its features but it has a tendency to sit around and not do anything after you click a link. You'll think you missed the click and then 10 seconds later, it'll wake up and decide to start loading the next page. No idea why it does this. Happens every so often.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chumba8:
I use the stock broswer and dolphin hd pro I love dolphin
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] semperlux:
Yes! this is exactly what bugs me. The stock browser doesn't do this. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
Love Dolphin HD, except for that clicking problem, glad I'm not the only one. Tried Skyfire once and it seemed slow and clunky, pinch zoom was delayed, and didn't adjust text to wrap on the screen.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] psych2l:
Xscope is great, fastest one I've tried and works just like chrome.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] antiphon:
Yeah I love the stock browser's speed but it is seriously lacking features. I used to use Dolphin HD but the lag was horrible. Now I use the regular Dolphin Browser (NOT HD). This browser is fast (not quite as fast as the stock browser but much faster than the HD version) and has almost all the features of Dolphin HD. It's funny because they say Dolphin HD is optimized for 2.1 but the regular one is way faster.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wuclan48:
I'm using Opera and loving it. The only thing that could make it better is if I could set it as the default browser.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
I didnt notice any speed difference in dolphin or opera compared to stock.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tadtam:
Dolphin HD easy bookmarks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wuclan48:
You are correct. Noticed this the other day. Awesomeness.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] :
Opera... fast as ****.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] B3RL1N:
I'm so surprised that it took till the end of page 2 for someone to list Opera. I'm in shock.

Opera Mini is by far the best browser for Android on 3G. When you go into the 4G and WiFi speed range it isn't as effective. But cloud computing is the way to go. It processes the site you are loading on Opera's servers then sends it optimizes to your phone. This way, your phone loads less data over 3G and your speeds increase dramatically.

Everyone, go try it out. You'll love it. Sure, the plug ins on HD are neat, but the speed on Opera Mini is unmatched. I've been using it since my Touch Pro 2.

Here's a speed comparison on the Droid.

Android Browser: 42-seconds

Opera Mini 5 Beta: 27-seconds

Congrats people, you've been upgraded. :)

The only disappointment I have is with 5.1 and a full screen bug. When you restore the browser after force closing it via a task manager or a crash the bottom of the screen is an empty white box. You can just fix it by enabled and reenabling fullscreen. On the upside, in 5.1 it will remember your progress from the last time you were online and load from where you left off. Although I've never had the browser crash on me, so it's pretty much a non-factor, lol.

I tried dolphin but i cant stand the look of it. It's ugly.

I've been using skyfire. xScope was also good.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jasonziter:
XScope is the best. I've used all of them and its the easiest with the most "desktop like" functionality that I've seen.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dixonwa:
+1 for Skyfire. Have used all the browsers but I keep going back to Skyfire.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Ruki_Uki:
I use the regular dolphin browser because it seems better then stock and I like the feature of how easy it is to save images on a page.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] Anartic:
So I took a look through a few Samsung Vibrant demos and apparently the Vibrant gets its own version of the Sims 3. The one that comes preloaded on the Vibrant is nothing like the one currently on the Android Market and it looks amazing. You can see a demo of the Sims 3 for the Vibrant here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9xUdHUMCIQ

Now would there be a way we can get it onto our phones? I've tried just pulling the apk from the Vibrant dump, courtesy of Wes, but after I install it and open it I get a message saying "There is a problem parsing the package". I don't really understand it all, but I'm guessing we can't actually play the game because our device isn't the Vibrant. So how hard would it be to try and get it to work on our phones?
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] TakoLuffer:
Im not sure either :P i did the same exact thing. Try Signing it or pushing it though adb XD idk it probly has something to do inside the apk maybe the screen size plays a roll in this?
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] amack10:
pretty sure that things got the humming bird 1g in it and weve only got a 600 mhz. im pretty sure this game wont work on our phones because of the difference in proccesors

edit: it may also be for android 2.2 not 2.1

i got it to install..i'm using a evo though..but it's unplayable all the environments and background is black..anyway to fix that??
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] neok44:
how did you guys find this? i downloaded the dump but didn't find anything other than the launcher.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] psychoace:
Only if you had the game source code or the source code for your graphics chip. This sims game is optimized for the galaxy s's very fast gpu so don't expect much help even if you had access to all of that
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] neok44:
the evo is just as powerful as the galaxy 2. the reason everything is black is because the textures are missing.

Same thing happens in sims 3 on the PC.

and thats whats so confusing about this because wes said that sims 3 was included, but theres no sims3 apk big enough to be the actual game. so as far as i can tell, the game is NOT in the dump.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] psychoace:
Not GPU wise. Look at the statistics of the Galaxy S's Gpu and the Evo's and you will see how much of a wimp the evo is in the gpu department.

In regards to the Evo

"In terms of performance "...22M triangles/sec and 133M 3D pixels/sec""

"the Galaxy S can process 90 million triangles per second"
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] amack10:
Ya that humming bird is no joke. I was watchin theunlockr.com and they were doing a copmairison of the n1 and the galaxy s next to eachother both running the ported quake 2. And the n1 was all choppy and the galaxy was smooth as butter. Needless to say I was thinking of getting an n1 or evo but I'm thinkin of goin with the galaxy now
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] stoneyjonez:
Actually, that was the Desire vs Vibrant, but close enough lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] migueltherocker:
I think the problem is that the game engine, etc. are in the dump but the actual files needed to play (textures, etc.) come on the SD card.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] memariellexo:

[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] Cammarratta:
Do we have video proof or could we possibly have video proof?

Wouldn't the screen resolution be a problem as I'm sure that the vibrant has a 4.something screen and the slide sits at 3 and some change. I would also like this version of The Sims as opposed to the crappy version that has been on the market.

[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] Clom801:
I had the same problem at first, the only way I could get it to work is to put the 3 Files in Titanium backup and restoring them from there.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] PcFish:
Can you clarify what 3 files so I can do this properly? I assumed the apk file I see floating around is it, but I'm probably wrong. I downloaded the vibrant dump and only found one sims file in there. Thanks!

[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] PcFish:
What size is your apk file? Mine is 11 MB. I think you're using the wrong one. I was using the one off of 4shared and i got parsing errors.

It worked perfectly on both 2.1 and 2.2. I used slidmeroot4v1 before.

I've installed successfully from stock launcher, installer.apk, and appmonster, even downloading from phone browser. So installing shouldn't be a problem.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] guitarist5122:
I followed the links in this thread and the one I was able to download said it was suppose to be 11mb but when it finished it was only several kb. Tried google search and not having much luck :/

Hi guys, I've had a fair read through the forum already but can't find a solution to my problem.

I have a HTC Magic which I have rooted and am running cyanogen 6.0 RC.

My problem is with my girlfriend's Tmobile HTC G2 (Hero).

I initially tried running the 2 part update from Tmobile but receive the yellow triangle error so am told to downgrade my rom from the HTC site.

I cannot for the life of me get this to work, HTC sync works fine. I run the uud.exe file update and the phone boots to UUD usb mode,xp informs me of "android 1.0" being connected and the installer gives me error [171] USB connection error.

The program then terminates, the same thing happens following the guide: http :// forum .xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=645253&page=3 (cant add the link)

I'm stuck for ideas. Booting into hboot (power on and vol down) gives me my spl:1.76.007 which know for the magic was the perfect spl. The radio is 6.35.07.08.

Any help would be appreciated, all I want is this retched device to be upgraded from android 1.5!!!

Thanks in advance.

As noted in my FaQ please follow my guide on Correct drivers and check the bootloader drivers section. This should fix your issue.

Not development related, reported to be moved to Q&A.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrAiGaT:
buddn, I have the same phone all stats identical and got the same error too. It locked up the phone on the skate-boarding android screen and let a nervous half-hour of searching before pulling the battery and it restarted fine.

If you solve this please post back what I/we are doing wrong.

btdag, can you be any more specific? Do I have to use your drivers? I have used ones from the latest HTC Sync and the latest Android-SDK, I'm running Windows 7.

Currently setting up the XP mode in Win7 as plenty of people seem to recommend flashing from XP instead. But progress is slow as the hours I have to play are limited!

Thanks both,

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dancollins:
What ROM version are you running currently and what are you trying to downgrade to?

I had SPL 1.76.0007 originally, I ended up using the engineering SPL (2007) but that was for other reasons.

But btdag's guides are really well laid out, sometimes you do have to uninstall all your drivers and just follow his steps, I know I have in the past and that normally solves everything! He provides links to ADB and HTC Sync drivers, but personally I use the ones from the ADK and the latest HTC Sync I could find... but then I'm a bleeding edge kind of guy :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Can you both try the "GoldCard" Test Procedure for me in my guide here

This has been done today and there may be some edits necessary to get it completely working, it's also designed for Windows 7 rather than XP or Vista and should work on both x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) systems. Having said that it should also work on XP and Vista in a similar way.

I have updated my guide to use the latest HTC Sync drivers as they appear to support adb correctly. I'll be editing my driver guide soon and possibly removing it altogether. I'm also a bleeding edge kind of guy :) but i've only recently found the latest version of the drivers to work. I had no idea about the implications, until now.
